EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "The Pyramids of Egypt," is a fascinating depiction of the legendary structures created by an artist who unfortunately never had the opportunity to witness them in person. The image, created in the mid-16th century, originated from the workshop of the renowned German engraver, Hans Sebald Greifenberger, based in Munster. Historical records suggest that this print was produced around 1550, a time when Europeans were beginning to explore the world beyond their known borders. However, the vast expanse of the Egyptian desert and its ancient wonders remained largely unexplored, making firsthand accounts and accurate depictions of the pyramids scarce. Despite the artist's lack of personal experience, this print showcases a remarkable level of detail and intricacy. The pyramids are depicted with their characteristic stepped sides, and the Sphinx, guarding the entrance to the Temple of the Sun, is shown with the body of a lion and the head of a human. The artist's imagination and research have resulted in a visually stunning representation that captures the awe and wonder these structures inspired in the European imagination. The print's intricate engraving and meticulous attention to detail reveal the skill and artistry of the Munster workshop. The use of cross-hatching and shading techniques create a sense of depth and texture, while the inclusion of an inscription in Latin adds an air of scholarly authority. This print serves as a testament to the power of the human imagination and the enduring fascination with the mysteries of the ancient world. Despite never having seen the pyramids in person, the artist's work continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of Egypt.
